  1. Edit: So…girlfriend and I recently ordered pasta dishes from them again….was not like last time. Suddenly it was just you're regular, everyday, pizzeria sauce. Maybe we got lucky the first time? -1 star,

    My absolute favorite pizza joint in Brooklyn. I love the staff there. They're all friendly and efficient.

    Russ' has the best sauce. Ever. They are fairly priced and my absolute favorite pizza is their spicy buffalo chicken pizza. Very large and filling. So worth the 18 bucks. They're pepperoni and cheese sandwich is like a large closed pizza. It's great!

    Their pastas? Fantastic!! Their marinara sauce is great and tasted just like you made it at home (I live with old italian ladies!). My favorite is just the spaghetti with marinara and chicken cutlet topped with cheese! Seriously. A person could die with that meal and be happy.

    I have only tried the spaghetti and the meat sauce both of which had such different tastes. SO good. They go heavy on garlic here which is awesome! Not so much for the anti-garlic people, but great for me!

  2. Yummy! We found our pizza place in Brooklyn! True NY style and pies are huge, just the way they SHOULD be. They have a great vodka sauce as well. Could work on their mozzarella sticks but they still taste great. Very impressed with delivery time as well! I'm happy to have discovered a go to pizza joint in Greenpoint!

  3. Probably the best pizza in Brooklyn.  Even if it's not, it's certainly my favorite.  The Sicilian ambiance in here is amazingly hilarious.  As a South Philly transplant, this place really made me feel at home.

  4. Today I lost my license. It was a big bummer. I went back along Manhattan Ave to retrace my steps and stopped into a bunch of stores and restaurants asking if anyone had turned it in to them, which is why I went into Russ Pizza.

    The guys at the counter were incredibly nice and one said, "Okay, love, write down your name and number and we'll let you know if someone turns it in." It felt like I wandered into a sweet small town pizza shop–and it smelled delicious!

    About 10 minutes later I found my license at the bank (yaaayyyy!!!) and I was still thinking about how nice the guys at Russ Pizza had been and how much I wanted a slice!

    So, I went back to tell them the good news about my card (they cheered!) and to get a cheese slice to go ($3).

    The slice was wrapped in a wax paper bag and paper plate, so was it in good shape when I ate it later while waiting for the train. The crust was amazing; just the right mix of crispness on bottom (no cornmeal) and chewiness. But the best part was the sauce. Perfect amount, perfect flavor.

    When I imagine my ideal slice, this is it. I know everyone's crazy about Di Fara's, but honestly, this slice is better.

    Five stars!!
